    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I need your protection from the Senators consulting loudly because most of them have already spoken. I do not know why they are consulting loudly. The Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission of Kenya (TJRC) Report should be implemented because it will sort out most of these issues. The term of the leases is also very key. I know the British gave themselves long leases of 999 years. We need to review the leases, so that it cannot go beyond 99 years. As soon as the leases expire, as my colleague Sen. Cheptumo has said, the land should revert to the Government and the communities that they were taken from. The lands should be redistributed among the people whose land was taken away free of charge instead of the rich buying the land when the leases expire or they allocate themselves the land, while the poor continue to languish in poverty as the rich take the land. Mr. Speaker, Sir, along the Coastal part of the country, there are many absentee landlords. The land is lying idle. People do not have title deeds and so they cannot borrow loans. We need to move with speed and rectify the injustices that have been done against our people. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support."
